Equity Court Abstracts

These are abstracts from Equity Court Records of Frederick County, Maryland, many times providing family data on the defendant and sometimes on persons not mentioned on the docket. Some of the listings are quite informative while others, being dismissed, may only have the date and name of plantiff and defendant. However, the cases brought before the judge consisted of sworn testimony and each one holds a story. Perhaps you will find a story connected to your search.

In Apr 1814 Benedict DARNALL of Loudoun Co, VA sold 1/4 undivided part of
"Hope Farm" (obtained from the 8 Apr 1798 will of his father, Thomas DARNALL, 
to Thomas' six sons, two who have since died) to Thomas N. BINNS of Baltimore 
City and Darnall transferred the mortgage to John COOK of Montgomery County.  

This mortgage was filed at the courthouse where William RITCHIE, Esquire, was 
clerk and was endorsed by him but was not yet written into the record book before 
Ritchie died.  No one else was authorized to continue in this position until 
April 1817.  About this time, Binns and Darnall obtained possession of the said 
mortgage and withdrew it from the clerk's office and destroyed it.  

Afterwards, Binns sold the land to Charles Fenton MERCER of Loudoun County, VA who 
now possesses the land.  Darnall had transferred one of the bonds to Mashach RICHARDS 
of Montgomery County and he transfered it to Cook. 

On 29 Jun 1820, Mercer testified Darnall now lived in Ohio.  He claimed the whole 
tract of "Hope Farm" was 986 acres with the four undivided parts being owned by
Binns, Raphael DARNALL, William ROSS and John WALKER.   That 327 acres were sold
to James SIMMONS and 200 acres were leased to Henry KEMP for 6 years, four of which
have expired.  He further mentions the 'other third' consists of 2,817 acres on the
river, Poketaliso in Kenawha Co, VA, estimated at $6,666; also 400-500 acres in the
territory now Mississippi estimated at $3,000.  He said Binns told him John COOK and
Levi PHILLIPS pretended to have right to lands but assured him all notes were paid 
and there was no lien on said lands and because of this Binns conveyed the Poketaliso
land in trust for Richard N. HENDERSON of Leesburg, VA.  Mercer also stated there was
a lien on the Hope Farm for John DARNALL, brother of Benedict and for the dower of
Benedict's wife.  He also mentioned a note payable to Benjamin RUSTS of Virginia.

Thomas N. BINNS testified soon after the mortgage to Benedict DARNALL, he sold to 
Darnall a tract of land in Farquier Co, VA which had a valuable merchant mill.  Binns
claimed Benedict's mother would not give him possession of the Hope Farm land and he 
did not gain possession until after her death.

On 3 Mar 1825, Edward GARROT filed a petition stating on 29 Nov 1806, Edward P.
GARROTT sold to Zachariah CLAGETT, lately deceased, a Negro boy named EVANS, then 
about 13, but noted EVANS had been given to his son, Barton GARROTT by his grand-
father, Barton GARROTT, and thus Edward questioned whether he had the power to sell 
EVANS since his son may want him back when he becomes of age.  John P. GARROTT was
moving his family to Virginia in 1806 and there was a law against carrying slaves
into Virginia.  John's written agreement stated Zachariah should be paid $1,000 if
his son demanded the return of EVANS.

Request was made to return the $100 to Zachariah for the loss of the boy as Erasmus 
GARROTT as guardian had asked for the return of EVANS; Clagett refused and Erasmus 
filed suit in Washington County on 11 Apr 1816 when EVANS was 23 and then worth $500.  
On 12 Nov 1822, Zachariah assigned his interest in EVANS to Edward who is requesting 
$500 for the loss.  Nov 1817 entry shows the sheriff returned EVANS to Zachariah.
